Open Auction
Buyers can shorten the time it takes to find new, quality suppliers by creating discovery postings. Once created, a posting is automatically matched and distributed to suppliers able to meet the customer's needs. Buyers can also search the supplier directory and view several parameters that display the suppliers' ability to deliver and their overall experiences.
It's not just about price. Suppliers are scored according to price and non-price factors, such as quality, location, ISO certification or delivery terms. The supplier's overall position is adjusted according to a combination of both price and non-price factors. Suppliers cannot modify any non-price attributes. We will work with clients to understand their needs and make sure the event is flexible to meet the criteria of award they choose.
Open Buyer
Small services led businesses are always looking for ways to generate revenue and keep their top talent engaged in exciting work. Customers want great deals for their cash investments. TradeMasher provides that forum for suppliers to provide great deals based on the volume of potential customers willing to engage in the deal of the week offered. It ultimately creates a win-win-win for all involved; suppliers reach new customers, customers find great deals and ultimately the results produced in the market benefit multiple recipients.
The platform is super easy and the following is the basic guidelines:
- email and social media communication platform
- tipping point for when the deal takes effect - need enough buyers to sign on
- coupon's representing the currency to redeem your deal
- must engage in a contract with the supplier within 60 days for the deal to take effect
